FeaturesIn addition to the regular features suck as skip, fast forward, pause etc, pressing the jog dial in activates the MP3 player’s full menu.

Selecting the Record mode in the menu naturally enters the X-Micro’s record mode, which allows you to record conversations, or collage lectures just like a Dictaphone. Voices are recorded in the Wav file format, which is a slight annoyance, as far more could be stored if it recorded directly to MP3, though obviously this might have increased the price and size of the unit.
Entering the settings mode of the EVA player brings up another menu, where EQ (equaliser settings), repeat modes, LCD contrast, Automatic turn-off settings, recording quality, backlight and language can be altered.
In the EQ setting, Normal, Rock, classic, Jazz and Pop modes can be selected, which changes the levels of the bass and treble to best reflect the music you listen to. Whilst some more direct control over these settings would be nice, the fact that it has EQ control at all in an MP3 player of this price range is exceptional.
The normal repeat track, repeat all, shuffle or sample repeat modes can be selected under the “repeat?menu setting. Backlight can be toggled between always off and on for 20 seconds after you have finished pressing buttons. Either English or German can be selected as a language.
